At a speech in Quincy, IL talking about financial reform, President Obama lets us know that he thinks there should be a limit to how much money a person should make when he said, "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money."

A few of his biggest supporters from Hollywood, who went to great lengths during the 2008 campaign to let the world know how much they loved him, weigh in in this video.

In many cases these celebrities make a lot more money than the big company executives Obama likes to demonize as greedy. These celebrities find themselves understandably confused.

So, Goldman Sachs is in the news. Please don't ask me to try and explain what's going on. I mean, the SEC is suing them. I know that much. About the only other thing I know is that I Question The Timing.

But the name Goldman Sachs brings back memories of the 2008 election. I did this post, highlighting how Goldman was a much bigger contributor to Obama than McCain, despite the conventional wisdom that it is Republicans in the pockets of Wall Street banks.

After the success of my Exxon logo featuring Obama, I took the opportunity to do the same with the Goldman logo:

Crazy thing is, good friend Jane over at YouTooCongress found the logo useful a few days ago. Only she didn't get it from me -- she got it from her broker. Like she says, "what a small world".

We are offering a limited number of people the opportunity to purchase carbon offsets through a simple and inexpensive program. 100% of your carbon offset purchase will be used directly to, well, offset your carbon footprint. There are no overhead costs, hidden administrative expenses or any other areas in which the money you invest into this program will be used for anything other than reducing your carbon footprint.

How do we do this?

I’m glad you asked.

With a one-time donation to the Arbor Day Foundation for as little as $10, you get to select 10 trees which they will ship to the destination of your choice. Your first choice should be your own property on which you can plant, nurture and grow your carbon sequestering trees to maturity.

However, should you not have the time or space to carry this out, we’re here to help. Have those ten trees shipped here, and we will plant, nurture and grow your trees for you.

Either way, you become a member of the Arbor Day Foundation, an organization whose mission is to “inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees”.

In addition to taking care of your trees, we will send you quarterly photos of your trees, and annual virtual tours, allowing you to “visit” your trees in their natural environment.

As your trees grow, you can breathe easier, both figuratively and literally.

It is a win-win-win scenario and one of the most rewarding investments you can make.
